Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

LMGTFY (to quote another old phrase).

It started badly, tailed off towards the middle and the less said about the end the better

Course you can Malcolm.

See that ? That’s you, that is

PIVOT!

I referenced that Friends scene in front of some recent graduates at work... they looked at me blankly and I felt like an old fool 🤣

My DH often calls colds 'Malcolms'

😂

And dare I mention 'The fallen Madonna with the big boobies'

'Allo 'Allo's Fallen Madonna sells for £15,000 at auction - BBC News

'Just the one, Mrs Wembley'

@YorkieTheRabbit i said this to my 20 years old then had to explain the story behind it 😂😂 yes I do feel really old now 😂

"don't cross the beams" Ghostbusters film 😂

I dialled the wrong number

when new music comes out and it’s a cover that my DDs have never heard if

whenever the 90’s or oasis are described as retro

Fun Bobby (Friends)
As cunning as a fox
( Blackadder)
Four candles (2 ronnie's)
Suits you sir (fast show)

If you like a lotta chocolate on your biscuit join our …..
(sung obviously !)

Ahhh you beat me to it.
It's one of mine and my DBs favourite shows

Love that sketch. And always take the opportunity to say Twooo soooups!

Don’t tell him, Pike (went right over the head of my trainee the other day)

This reminds me of a conversation with my mam, I was talking about eating a penguin biscuit and she starting singing this but only the if you like a lotta chocolate bit. I started laughing and she got cross and tried to argue with me that was the penguin song, I could barely breathe for laughing and told her to sing the full "song" she got as far as you typed before also bursting into laughter. Meanwhile my DD10 was looking at us like we were total weirdos as we were wiping our eyes from laughing so hard! We then sang quite a few jingles to DD, p p p pick up a penguin, red car and the blue car had a race etc but nope she (rightly to be fair given she is only 10) had no clue! We couldn't sing the club biscuit song though without breaking out into hysterics so DD still doesn't know that jingle!

Winner winner chicken dinner. Heard on the bus and DD kept staring at me blankly.

Not a cultural reference as such but I realised yesterday she had no idea what a sugar lump/cube was. She’s never ever seen one. And she loves a cafe visit.

DH and I love a good Allo Allo quote. Our adult children look at us like we’ve got two heads 😂.

My pussy kept me awake all night!

Me neither! (Late 50s)

Oh lord yes! 'Mrs Slocombe's pussy' immediately springs to mind...

Channel Zammo - just say no.

Lol yeah!

And also Fawlty Towers quotes. I LOVED that programme back in the day. It really was of its time though because it seems incredibly racist now.
